@RussianMachine: Where’s the Apology?

Weeks ago, towards the start of the season, I wrote an article regarding @RussianMachine’s comments towards fan favorite, Mike Ribeiro. They had written an article claiming that Mike Ribeiro was not living up to the hype and that they didn’t think he was going to produce like he should. At the time, not only was he leading the team in points, but he had been one of the only Caps players consistently producing. Weeks later, he still is! He has been, BY FAR, the best player on the Capitals this season. There is no disputing that. It’s fact.

Me, being the kind, considerate, understanding journalist that I am, kindly offered @RussianMachine a chance to retract the statement and apologize for their harsh words toward Ribs. They ignored the request, thus saying no to the retraction. This is just unacceptable.

UNTIL @RussianMachine issues a retraction, there will be tension towards their blog. We demand that they issue this as soon as possible.

Come on, @RussianMachine! How can you hate a guy wearing this many golden items?

Oh, and @TheHornGuy is still a coward. He hides from the truth on Twitter, much like he hides from Verizon Center when the Caps have a bad game or two.
